Hao Ren soon received a message from Galador and Anthony: the messengers sent by Odin had already played a role, and the Twilight Guards and wizard groups were confused, but they had temporarily stopped fighting under the direct orders of the Steam Council, and now the two sides of the upper platform were facing each other awkwardly, and the follow-up troops of the Steam Council were cleaning up the mess - although the Dragon Queen had tried their best to keep their hands around, after all, several big killers were over there, and the Twilight Guards were really wounded, I'm afraid the aftermath of the lift platform will keep the Steam Council busy for a while.But in any case, there is no need to worry about the above things here."
I've thought a lot about these two thousand years," Odin couldn't help but sigh again after recounting the establishment of the Twilight Capital, "We are outsiders—in fact, I knew from the beginning that we were born strong, or possessed powerful technology."
The 'Aliens' are obviously not the natives of this world, we are just poor refugees who have been displaced here for some reason, but we have swelled because this world has a group of indigenous creatures who are also intelligent but far weaker than us, which makes us feel that we are the rightful rulers of this world.We occupy land that does not belong to us, but we lack the basis for development: demographic, historical, cultural, technological systems......
We don't really have anything but the bits and pieces of heritage we bring with us.But even so, we can rely on simple ******** dominance over that kind of being, which completely blinds everyone."
Humans are ignorant, we think they are born ignorant, humans are weak, we think they are always weak, humans don't understand runes and technology, we think they don't have the qualifications and intelligence to touch these things - but really?
They built this Twilight City in ways I couldn't even imagine......
Old friend, you're right, this world is theirs after all. ”"Actually, the development of human beings is far more powerful than you think, if they are not trapped in this ruin," Vivien shook her head with a wry smile, "Do you know what is happening to the Earth now?"
Humans have been able to fly to the moon, the sky, the sea, the land, they are everywhere, and the cities they have built are grander than any of the kingdoms of God in mythological times.Too much has changed......
I don't even know what to tell you about. ”"Then don't say it," said Odin's voice with a certain relief, "Either way, my time has passed.I'm glad to see you again, and I think you're doing well, which means that at least some of the aliens are surviving in the world today, and that's somewhat comforting to me.Actually, I have only one request for you......"
Hao Ren suddenly said: "Help this twilight capital?
”"That's right," Odin said slowly, "I was thinking about giving up completely, but your sudden appearance gave me some hope, since you have a way to get in from the outside world, then you should also have a way to get people out here - I don't know if you have noticed, the city has actually come to an end, although humans have been trying to extend the life of the city as much as possible, and in the barrier actually without Odin opening his mouth, Hao Ren will also find a way to take away the millions of people in the city, But he still subconsciously asked at this time: "What went wrong?"
”"I," Odin said lightly, "I'm dying. ”Although they had expected it, Hao Ren and Vivian were silent when they heard this.Hao Ren looked up at the dome of the throne hall, this dome was not completely closed, and directly above the roof was a huge circular cavity, through which the scenery outside the fortress could be seen.He saw criss-crossing steel beams and layers of urban buildings, and the whole of Twilight was like a bloated and swollen lair, and Odin in the deepest part of this lair was like a cornerstone, and the whole city weighed heavily on his shoulders.Although the mechanism of the Twilight Barrier has not yet been understood, there is no doubt that the city's defense mechanism is based entirely on Odin himself.Hao Ren looked at Odin again: this one was sealed in the crystal, and it was already weakened and withered.
A humanoid old man, his current weakness is undoubtedly related to the maintenance of the twilight barrier all year round."
Maybe you don't have to die," Hao Ren communicated with the data terminal and smiled, "I have a way to get you back to health."
But before I can do that, I'll have to ask you something: we're here on a mission, we're looking for an ancient flying machine that once belonged to Mimir, the Giant of Wisdom, which must have been quite large, and which ended up sinking into the Fountain of Wisdom.However, it is said that it may move between the Nine Kingdoms with the branches of Eugudorahir, so we can't be sure of its location at this time. ”Vivien, who was next to her, added, "If you can help us find it, we can move the entire Twilight City out at any time." ”After a few seconds, Odin spoke in a hesitant tone, "Are you looking for a black ship?"
”Hao Ren was taken aback: "Do you know where it is?!"
”Odin paused, and suddenly let out a low laugh, and then the laughter grew louder and louder, and he finally couldn't suppress it: "Ha......
Ha ha......
Fate, fate, the three Norn sisters are always talking about fate, but I'm afraid even they wouldn't have thought that there would be such a coincidence in the world......"
Hao Ren hurriedly grabbed Vivian's arm: "The old man won't pull it, right?"
”Vivien frowned: "No, he had already smoked ......it two thousand years ago" Odin suddenly raised his voice: "Do you know what the Twilight Barrier is?"
”Hao Ren was stunned: "What is it?"
”Odin's voice came from all directions: "The ship you are looking for is here. ”As the words fell, a creaking and rubbing sound rang out from deep underground.Hao Ren was shocked to find that the floor of the throne hall was actually covered with a thin, completely transparent barrier, and everything including the throne and the cables were actually placed on the barrier - he could see this because the stone slabs under the barrier were moving and receding in all directions!
The sound of mechanical friction grew louder and louder, and the entire floor of the throne hall began to deform, and the heavy strips of stone dismantled and scattered themselves in a dizzying pattern of motion, disappearing one by one at the base of the walls around the hall, and after the ground receded, Hao Ren saw the secret hidden in the deepest part of the twilight capital: a huge starship quietly parked in a huge cavern that emitted a faint red light.Most of the ship's structure is hidden in deep darkness, and its exact shape and size are not clear from here, but the only thing that is certain is that it is quite large, and the ship is obviously not completely silent, some of its armor plates are flickering with sparkling lights, and two streams of light wind up from the depths of the darkness, although the light is faint, but it is enough to show that the ship's central power system is still running, and is sending energy outward.Odin's Iron Throne is built on a protruding structure at the top of the ship: they're all connected!"
Twilight Barrier......
It's the ship's shield," Odin's voice woke Hao Ren from his astonishment, "Although I didn't know what it was at first, I found out that it was sent to Midgard by the vines of Eugudo Lahir, and it has a great power inside it - at that time, the Twilight Capital was not yet formed, and the few city-states that barely survived relied on a large number of rune barriers to barely resist the erosion of the outside world, so I thought of building a defense system with this powerful energy source of unknown origin. ”"I'll you......
You said this is a coincidence......
"Hao Ren thought to himself, as Odin said, fate is wonderful, and his previous actions were really the right way: if he put the affairs of Twilight City aside for the time being and concentrate on finding Mimir's spaceship, then he may have to make many detours!
But then again, in fact, he also had a vague feeling that the Twilight Capital should have a clue about the ship: after all, an entire city carried through Ragnarok, which required a very strong force, and this power was unlikely to come from ordinary humans, so he linked the starship and the Twilight Capital at that time.But seeing it with his own eyes at this time, he couldn't help but be surprised."
I've been studying for a long time and couldn't open the shell of this thing, but I've managed to activate its shield from the outside, and expand and move it over the entire city," Odin said with pride, "but maintaining this shield requires constant stimulation from the outside, so I sat here, day after day, year after year, to prevent the twilight barrier from going out." ”(To be continued.) )
